Weapon seller in the world of magic

In reality, Sungjun never planned to butt heads with these Hunters for higher positions and the social ladder.

If they had simply ignored him, he would have been fine but as Jaden Wong had crossed the line by hurling such statements, followed by the support of other Hunters in the form of silence, Sungjun decided to showcase the ability of his mystic eyes once again, this time, with more power, so that these people with a high ego would listen to his words when he leads them into the temple.

In reality, this technique isn’t as simple as an illusion.

Sungjun first unleashes an illusion and then turns it into a reality. It’s called Absolute Reality and was developed only a day ago.

As a result, it wasn’t mastered, consuming almost all of the Mana particles in his body. That means he can no longer use his mystic eyes until his cells regenerate the Mana particles, but he was willing to gamble for the sake of the mission.

Fortunately, no one recognized this flaw, and Sungjun managed to fool everyone successfully.

Of course, this wasn’t his strongest attack either.

Each of the active abilities corresponded to the color of his pupils.

Heightened vision – glow (passive)

Eyes of Truth – glow (passive)

Telekinesis – Yellow

Illusionary world – White

Illusion – Scarlet

Absolute Reality – Black

Dream control – Pink

Hypnosis – Navy Blue

Time Manipulation – Bright Green

While all these abilities seemed so overpowered, the consumption and strain were so heavy that he couldn’t even use half of those abilities properly without destroying his own body. However, he had to take the chance with Absolute Reality and applied to the enemy that showed animosity against him for no good reason.

And now, he waited for the result with his reserves hit almost to nil. Based on the reaction, Sungjun decided on the degree of cooperation he had in mind with this secret mission.

To his surprise, Cyro acted before the others. No one even got to speak a word after this rebellious act, and the captain spoke. ”Ms. Kitty Ranger, continue. Everyone, sit down.”

With the entire room filled with silence, Julia, aka Kitty Ranger, cleared her throat and continued to speak where she stopped earlier. ”The main reason Mr. Han is joining this mission is that his mentor was the scout who sacrificed his life to find the secret entrance and get us the inside details. Lt. Commander Cheng gave him the task of leading this team to the heart of the temple.”

Taking a brief pause, she then glanced at a silent Sungjun, ”Mr. Han, can you give a brief explanation of how you were going to lead the team?”

”Certainly,” Sungjun immediately rose to his feet and walked toward her.

The rough sketch of the temple’s blueprint was already displayed on the projector screen. So, he wouldn’t have to request a change of slide and directly started explaining after taking the laser pen from Kitty Ranger.

”As everyone can see, the Temple of Horus has four different official portals, one on each side, but we won’t enter through any of them.” Sungjun pointed to the north-western entrance of the temple and then slowly moved down and continued, ”Right below this entrance, there was an underground tunnel, which leads to a crypt that was flooded. The only problem is that the entrance of this underground tunnel lies at a depth of 2060 meters, where there is a hole in the barrier, unnoticed by the werewolves. And it goes like this.”

He drew the imaginary line at a 52-degree angle and connected it to the altar, which is at the center of the temple.

Some guys hooked onto the new piece of information revealed by Sungjun and listened to it seriously, while the others, like Jaden Wong and Lucas, who are still angry with him, half-heartedly nodded.

Cyro then said, ”Mr. Han, the hydrostatic pressure at the bottom at such depth will be more than 20 million Pascal (Pa). And from there, we should swim upwards for 2 more kilometers in the tunnel. Not everyone could withstand the pressure and accomplish the task.”

”Ah! That tunnel is actually big enough for a submarine to enter.” Kitty Ranger suddenly commented, gaining the attention of everyone.

The Hunters gave a meaningful stare at her as if they were asking why she withheld the information, and embarrassed them in front of the rookie.

As if she understood what everyone was thinking, Kitty Ranger then said, ”The submarine can only go up to 600 meters upwards. That’s why I didn’t think it was worth mentioning.”

Upon hearing her words, Sungjun waved his hands, ”That isn’t a problem.”

Sungjun then pointed at a young woman in a black shirt and black pants, ”If my memory serves me correctly, Ms. Wang possessed the ability of a water dragon that can carry people within its body and can move as fast as the speed of sound on the water surface. After exiting from the rest stop at 600 meters, she can carry us to the top. Even if the tunnel isn’t wide enough at a later stage, we can burst through the force. All we need is to make sure Ms. Wang has enough Mana energy reserves. We will be able to reach the crypt without much trouble.”

Sungjun pointed at the imaginary place right below the altar displayed on the screen and dragged it to the right. ”Here, there are stairs that will lead to the rusted armory and skeletons, which probably belonged to the humans from decades ago. If we follow the straight, narrow path, we’ll get to the heart of the temple. However, there might be a few werewolves patrolling around. So, we have to take them out quickly. And the other major problem is a giant eye.”

”Giant eye?” This time, even Kitty Ranger appeared to be surprised.

Sungjun continued, ”According to Captain Qin Sheng, there’s a pillar in the center of the altar that has a giant eye on top of it. We don’t know its function, though. But, he was sure that it was blinking as if it were alive.”

Taking a breath, he turned serious as he glanced at Jaden, ”As you all know, I’m only a rookie and am only strong enough to run away on my own. My task is to guide you all there. The rest will depend on you.”

Cyro narrowed his eyes, staring at him... specifically at his eyes...

Sometime later;

A medium transport helicopter was flying above the sea of Blythena. Inside the vehicle, eight Hunters and Sungjun were sitting in silence. As the mission has a huge life-threatening risk, some of the Hunters couldn’t help but become nervous despite their years of experience.

Sungjun was sitting at the edge of the seat with Cyro beside him. Like others, he was also nervous. He might have put on a brave front earlier, but he doesn’t want to go on this mission.

The reason: He wasn’t strong enough.

In fact, he barely escaped alive just a while ago, and he has to go back to the place? Just the thought itself raised his heartbeat.

From the start, Sungjun knew that he would have to completely depend on himself in every situation. Hence, he decided not to use his ocular abilities unless it is necessary.

As Sungjun tried to meditate to calm his nerves, he felt a tap on his shoulder. Sungjun opened his eyes to find Cyro looking at him. ”Captain?”

Cyro then asked, ”Mr. Han, I know that we got off on the wrong foot in the first meeting, and it might not be polite for me to ask you at this point, but it would be helpful for me if you explain everything that you know regarding the dungeon. I feel like there is something you have been keeping from us. It wasn’t just your mentor. You went to this dungeon and survived, didn’t you?”

As Cyro’s voice is loud enough for everyone to hear, some of the Hunters abruptly turned their heads in curiosity, paying attention to Sungjun. The latter ended his silence and narrated the story.

”Well, the story begins with an anonymous tip received by my mentor, Captain Qin Sheng.”

Half a month ago;

Department of Finance, Alsacian Federation HQ, Nanhai city, Ospana;

In a place that looked like an office room, 19-year-old Sungjun was sitting before a computer with atleast half a dozen files on his desk. Instead of a Hunter who was known by the Codename: White Wolf, he appeared more like an office worker.
